RE: 4 Blade Prop
I don't know if you're going to try to fly the P51 with a four-blade prop, but if you are trying to keep things "scale", the Hamilton Standard 4-blade prop used on P51D's had a diameter of 11'2" according to MustangsMustangs.com. The BlueNose is about a 1/7 scale, so a scale prop diameter would be (assuming my math is right) about 19" in diameter. Which is much bigger than most of the recommended engines would turn, and also probably create prop clearance problems when taxiing. There are a couple of guys with electron powered P51's that are going to try to run 4-blade props, but I think they're in the 17" range.
